Description

Please note: as this is an ARC, some audio links may not be operational. 

Languages through Music remixes language education as you know it, offering a creative and colourful avenue for language learning, and celebrating an alternative method and alternative voices.

Written by language teacher, musician and world traveller Desta Haile, this practical guide teaches self-study learners how to learn any language through music. It discusses the benefits of learning a language through music, gives practical steps towards becoming an independent language leaner using music as a main tool for learning, and shows how music can teach all aspects of language learning if done right, along with providing insight into the relevant country's culture and history.

Tapping into our natural affinity for music to boost memory, comprehension and fluency, Languages through Music is a reset, language learning refreshed and reimagined.

What you'll learn:
- Why music is one of the most powerful language-learning tools available
- How to use songs to approach vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and listening skills
- Practical strategies to become an independent language learner
- How to connect with culture, identity and history through sound

More than just a method, this book is an invitation to learn beyond borders. Learners also gain online access to accompanying playlists and vocabulary lists for the following languages: Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Kirundi, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Twi, Wolof, Xhosa and Zulu.
